I am working on veneering hat boxes. Here is a pic of a finished one but I have two in process. I will spray them with lacquer when the veneering is done. I am hoping to be able to sell them when they are finished.

I haven't sold any yet - I have made a lot as gifts over the past few years. I will probably start out on etsy. Any advice on the selling part would be very valuable. It takes a lot of time to cut and piece the designs but I really love doing it. It started out as a way to use up the veneer scraps left over from when I had a kitchen design/cabinet shop business. I also do pictures with wood inlays and hand dyed wood veneers as well.

I've been making fabric cuffs after reading the book by Ruth Rae, 'Layered, Tattered & Stitched'...I am totally obsessed with making them!If you visit my blog there is a pic posted of the first one I made...

Tabitha, love your blog and your fabric cuffs! I can see why you get lost in them

Marian, a pink quilt, perfect!! Take pictures I want to see!!

Sheri, your work is so beautiful. .. please do not undersell your talents!! Do an online search for other artisans that do your type of craft ( not necessarily a hat box) and see what they are charging. You will need to determine what your time and talent are worth in the long run.

Tabitha, I love your cuffs. You are a very talented lady. I enjoyed looking at your blog. I see that you are into fairies. I have built little "fairy houses" out of bark with pine cone petal shingles. They turn out pretty cute. I am trying to work out how to make one out of rocks with mortar that will be weatherproof for my flower garden.

I too love to see the pictures of the hat box that is awesome--the cuff that takes allot of time. I am working on a tatted doily and book marks-for swap along with some quilting a new baby quilt for grand baby number two on its way in August just had one three weeks ago ----

Would love to see pictures of your pink quilt, Marian.

Oh, I would love to see pictures of your fairy houses!!

Thanks so much for the compliment on my cuff...I am having so much fun with them!

I need to work on my seed list too, since I finally figured out where I will be moving to in the next few months. I'm trying to decide on what to start on later. Do I want to get back to work on my sister's quilt or do I want to make the head for the fat man? Fat man was going to be a Santa, but since Christmas is past and it would be so much more fun to have him out year round, he's just going to look like a fat old man. hee hee
